Thanks for the comments Derek, Doug, and AD.

It will take much more practice and a huge lift in my confidence before I post many actual playing videos.

 I stumble awkwardly just about every time I play CBGs. I still enjoy banging away or strumming or even picking - but what is produced is not always 'music'.

  It amazes me whenever a random video almost matches. I usually just go for a sort of atmosphere to help convey the tune.

Nice playing and the tone is cool and bell like.

I’m with Uncle John. I like seeing the performer, however, I can always ask for a reprise on Sunday with your video on! That said I enjoyed the playing and it worked pretty good with your video. Great job Rich!

Thank you Uncle John.

 I am hesitant to post any videos of my actual playing. I often have to fix my recordings in Audacity to remove pauses and some wildly sour notes.

Good moves!  I usually like best to see the performer.  But this mix of music and dance is really a good combination.
